   Scully just woke up and felt a warm hand encircling her waste. Of course it   
   was Mulder.   
   Her sweet Mulder. She snuggled up closer to him from the back and they spooned   
   a little   
   closer. They've been through so much she started to think. It's been   
   4 years since they last fled for their lives. And she includes herself along   
   with that death   
   sentence, because if Mulder dies, she dies and that is the truth.   
      
      
   They are both a little older. She herself is 42 and Mulder is 45.   
   But they've both been doing their part in staying fit and looking good. They   
   both run   
   together, he lift weights and does crunches at the gym, she does a Pilates and   
   yoga class   
   interchangeably keeping her body strong. She got into yoga after her self   
   realization when   
   she realized her path is to Mulder. They've both been using moisturizer and   
   sunscreen.   
   She herself still eating healthy like she has always been and influencing   
   Mulder to eat   
   healthy as well. They look fairly good for their age she would say. Still the   
   attractive couple   
   they've always been. But no matter what, you can't stop the aging process she   
   knows.   
   Everyone grows old, and withers away , even Mulder and her. But they both   
   still enjoy   
   looking their best for each other and for themselves. It makes them feel good   
   and so far is   
   a constant in their life.   
      
   They are living in New Mexico right now. They do go by aliases just in case,   
   but really the   
   government has seemed to stop to care about them. They could not find the body   
   of Knoll   
   Rohr so they knew Mulder and Scully was right. They've lost interest in them   
   truthfully.   
      
      
   Scully and Mulder were both teaching but at different universities rivaling   
   each other.   
   Mulder is teaching Psychology and Scully is teaching Medical Pathology. By 3   
   o'clock, they   
   were both together again spending the rest of their day together and Scully   
   loved that.   
   And so did Mulder as a matter of fact. They'd usually have lunch in the   
   confines of their   
   own apartment. Mulder would have gotten home an hour earlier than her so he   
   would   
   usually whip something up. He's   
   become quite  the chef she thought. He's been into watching the Food Network   
   in the past   
   2 years and he's gotten quite good, better than she can cook she would say.   
   And he   
   cooked lean and healthy for them, but not sacrificing the flavor of the meal.   
   My Mulder is   
   multi-talented she thought but she's always known that.   
      
   One of the most important things they've been doing was working on how to stop   
   Dooms   
   Day in 2012. They have been confiding with Doggett and Reyes secretly and so   
   far never   
   have gotten caught. They really are convinced that the government doesn't give   
   a rat's ass   
   about them anymore but to tell you the truth, they really love where they are.   
   They're   
   satisfied and had enough with living in a cosmopolitan city. They truly just   
   want to live in   
   peace now with just the two of them.   
      
   Sometimes her mom would even visit them. She misses her mom, but she has come   
   to   
   visit a few times and they talk regularly. Who she misses the most is William.   
   Thinking   
   about him, pulls at her heart and she hopes he is safe but inside her heart   
   she knows he is   
   safe. She wonders if their kid looks more like Mulder now, or more like her.   
   It still makes   
   her sad thinking about the lost chance of watching him grow up, of not knowing   
   him, of   
   him not even knowing their names or even loving them, but that is life. It's   
   sad but it's life.   
   And she couldn't ask for anything more. The chance to give life has been given   
   to her- the   
   chance to nurture something even for just for a few months-the chance to   
   create a   
   beautiful human being with the man she loves. She knows that somewhere in this   
   world, a   
   piece of the both of them are in the world ever changing. When they disappear   
   from this   
   life, she hopes William by then carries on and has a family and a part of them   
   will live   
   forever. That's a beautiful thing she thought.   
      
   Now she thinks of Mulder. She has turned around in his arms facing him. He   
   looks so   
   peaceful in his sleep she thought. He looks about a decade younger in his   
   sleep. She loves   
   the drool line that has formed on his chin. It might sound disgusting to   
   others, but she   
   finds it very endearing. She always thought Mulder was a big kid. And he truly   
   is but she   
   also knows that he is very much a man as well in so many ways. Mulder has also   
   brought   
   out the big kid in her as well. Sometimes it truly feels that they are 12   
   years old with not a   
   clue in the world, and they wonder how they have put up with everything they   
   have in life,   
   all the responsibilities, and all the hardship. Thinking about it makes them   
   feel exhausted   
   and it's almost a separate entity from them. But it is still them and they   
   look at it with   
   amazement. They look at each other and know that the other person is the only   
   person   
   that knows what they've been through, and that is something they share-just   
   the two of   
   them. It really does sometimes feel that they are the only two people on the   
   planet, but   
   they don't care. They wouldn't have it any other way. They like it that way.   
      
   Mulder is starting to wake up besides her. He mutter's an "mmmm" and tightens   
   his arm   
   around her motioning her closer.   
      
   "Good morning sunshine" and she kisses him on the cheek.   
      
   "Hi Scully" he says sleepily.   
      
      
   "It's Saturday, what do you want to do today?"   
      
   He says through closed eyes, "umm... do you want to go to the lake? It's about   
   an hour   
   away and we can have a picnic and at the lake, we can swim if you want"   
      
   "That sounds great Mulder. Yeah I want to do that. That sounds like a lot of   
   fun. You good   
   idea maker." She said the last part in an endearing way and kissed him on the   
   lips.   
      
   Mulder deepened the kiss and held her against his lips and they continued   
   kissing.   
   "I want to have fun with you here first though."   
      
   " Ok Scully... me too. What's better than Scully in the morning? Nothing" he   
   blurted out   
   with a wide smile on his face.   
      
   She giggled and said, " I love you Mulder."   
      
   " I love you too Scully."   
      
   And she tackled him.

   They got to the lake. It was about 12 in the afternoon. They picked up   
   crackers,   
   sandwiches, potato salad, and strawberries, at the grocery story after they   
   left the house.   
   Mulder was now setting it all down on the picnic table.   
      
   They saw young kids who looked like Kindergartners playing on the side of the   
   lake. They   
   were playing tag.   
   They were smiling, and giggling, and they were playing with water guns trying   
   to get each   
   other.   
      
   Mulder all of a sudden looked down, avoiding eye contact with her.   
      
   She knew what was up.   
      
   "Mulder" she said with a tone in her voice getting him to face her and talk.   
      
   He walked up towards her and put his hands on the side of her waist.   
   He looked at her in the eye and said   
   "I'm sorry Scully. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for you having to end   
   up with me. God,
